Learn Italian Aperitivo in Treviso: Make Five Nibbles

Craft your own elegant bites paired with sparkling prosecco at sunset

A private two-hour cooking class in Treviso where you prepare five traditional nibbles (bruschetta, grilled vegetables, charcuterie and cheese), and pair them with local prosecco or wine. Held in the home of a Cesarine host, one of Italy's certified home cooks, the class teaches you to build an aperitivo the way locals do, using regional ingredients you can recreate at home.

The experience

The class starts in the evening as Treviso winds down, the moment when an aperitivo makes sense. You work in your host's home kitchen, not a commercial cooking school, and you learn by doing: preparing five nibbles from scratch using ingredients the Cesarine cook sources from local producers. A bruschetta drizzled with fragrant olive oil, grilled market vegetables, a selection of the area's finest charcuterie and cheeses. Each one is a small study in what the region grows and makes well. The wines come from regional cellars, a sparkling prosecco or a light red, chosen to match what you've just prepared.

Cesarine hosts are home cooks certified by Italy's oldest network, now spanning more than 500 cities. They open their own kitchens to travelers and treat the evening like you're part of the family, not a paying guest passing through. The two hours move at the pace of actual cooking. There's no rush to finish or move on to the next group. You taste as you go, understanding how each ingredient works, and you leave with the knowledge to build an aperitivo yourself, the best souvenir from an evening in Italy.
